MV Transportation Announces Release of MV PathwaysTM Transit Mobility Solution
Summary
Today, more than one-third of U.S. residents have special transportation needs with many elderly and disabled individuals relying heavily on ADA paratransit, which often involves advanced scheduling, shared rides and longer commute times. MV Pathways provides detailed ability-based pedestrian trip guidance that enables individuals to be trained to safely use more accessible and less costly fixed-route buses. The Pathways solution has a scalable architecture and robust cloud-hosted technology platform, secure integration to leading public transit passenger and scheduling software, access to crowdsourced pathway route characteristics that align with the OpenSidewalks and OpenStreetMap geographic information data standards, and structured rider travel training courseware and trained instructors. King County Metro’s collaboration with MV was recently recognized by METRO Magazine for the Innovative Solutions Award for Accessibility, honoring bus operations and their partners who have implemented initiatives that helped them save money, run more efficiently, streamline operations, increase safety, improve customer satisfaction, increase ridership, and more. We provide paratransit, fixed-route, public and private shuttle, and student transportation services, partnering with over 200 city and county government transit agencies, school districts, universities, airports and corporations.
